You never know it's there until you use it. I think it updates itself, 
though I've never noticed if it does. There are many settings in its 
options, but I've always just left it on default settings. In fact, I've 
never even opened its options until you mentioned it.

It's just one of those delightful little utilities that just does its thing 
silently and efficiently, and you forget it's there until you want it. 
Doesn't seem to show up in Task Manager or consume any memory unless you 
actually open  it. Search results are practically instant, even if you only 
type in part of a file name. Just as a matter of interest, I searched for a 
fairly well buried photo just now, results came up in .5 second.

You can filter results in numerous ways, and integrate into shell if you 
want, which is a very useful feature at times.

I've used it for years, thru numerous iterations of Windows (now on W7). 
It's never given me any trouble.
